A vigilante attack on a rape suspect will mean a trial for a father and his teenage daughter in California.

The pair, along with a friend of the teenage girl, will face attempted murder and mayhem charges after they allegedly lured a 21-year-old man to a park and beat him with a baseball bat.

Police said 21-year-old Esteban Cruz was lured to a park in Temecula, California, by the 16-year-old girl. She had told her father and a friend, 20-year-old Andre Edwin Dickerson, that Cruz had raped her after she passed out drunk in his bed in November.

When Cruz arrived to the park, Dickerson beat him with a baseball bat in a vigilante attack while the father and daughter watched. Cruz suffered skull fractures, broken bones, a lung injury, and lost teeth in the attack.

The girl’s attorney, David Grande, tried to paint Cruz as a predator out for young girls. Grande showed a text message from Cruz asking the girl to drink, smoke marijuana, and have sex with him. When the girl asked why he wanted to have sex with a 16-year-old, Cruz reportedly replied, “It’s the thing I do.”

After the girl’s charges came to light, police investigated Cruz and in May he was charged with sodomy with a minor. He is currently in jail on $50,000 bail.

After pleading not guilty to the vigilante attack in California, the trio were ordered to stand trial.

This is not the only vigilante attack in the news this week. In Bolivia a suspect accused of raping a murdering a girl was attacked and buried alive at the 17-year-old victim’s funeral. This manner of vigilante attacks have become common in Bolivia in indigenous areas to the point that Evo Morales, the country’s first indigenous president, signed a law extending institutional recognition of “indigenous justice.”
